Offering the best black, dark, golden, white, spiced and flavoured rums. Captain Morgan, Morgan Spiced and Bacardi are our house rums, most the others cost a mere 30p - 60p more - whether you love the gold medal winning Diplomatico range from Venezuela, the sugar cane rich flavour of the Havana family, a spiced or black rum, our staff can guide you through these fantastic products.

Our favourite serves are the classic Cuba Libre - although many favour it with a dark rum, this was originally served with a straw or white rum, but gaining massive popularity is the Dark n Stormy - black or spiced dark rum (preferably Gosling or Kraken) floating on jamaican ginger beer. Don't accept canadian dry substitutes!!!
